I respectfully disagree. It makes for a solid defense against a potentially potent form of magic. A "willpower" system is much more hazy, and I honestly would not like it. Honestly, I'm surprised more people don't have wards. The whole challenge of fighting a psychomancer is managing to kill them before they can break through your wards.

IF. YOU. HAVE IT. If you don't, you're fucked. and it's more reasonable to assume one doesn't if in doubt. And if they don't? There is literally nothing one can do. Even if you don't have armor you can still try to avoid sword slashes, you aren't completely out of options if you don't have the one, ONLY defense like in Psychomancy.
